it's your opinion
I think that there is no point for fixers to save people like full mortar or torpedo shooter or mine spamming ship
and that's the BIGGEST PROBLEM! everyone expects fixer to wear his a$$ off but no says 'thanks' when you win the battle by keeping your teammates alive, everyone expects fixers to be slaves who have to do what others expect, they can't use anything they want, they have to be there for teammates who go mad and blindly rush expecting their fixer to save them in every situation but they almost never come back (except speeders) to protect the fixer when he asks for help because someone is trying to kill him but they blame the fixer when he doesn't do what they expected, it looks like majority of players don't even know how hard is it to play fixer when they are primar target for most players, their teammates expect them to stay right behind them to heal them every time they get hit during suicide rush, you need your teammates because you have only one weapon (until mk6) so you do your best when it comes to saving some foolish shooter who was too rushy but almost everyone blames you when you don't follow meta
are you blind (no ofense), defenders are the easiest targets in the game, they are incredibly slow, big and have slow turret and you want them to go for bandages when main advantage of defender is having higher hp and defence points? selfish fixers have the highest self-healing ability and they are fast and somehow durable
speeder has greater health!? and speeder is also probably the hardest ship to master and utilise it's full potential and it's really vulnerable to hard hitting weapons when he isn't skilled enough to dodge these shots
Spoiler: spoiler
it's your opinion but please think about it, being fixer is hard and you have only few setups to use so why not to use duct tapes when you know how to use them
